This colored print depicts an outdoor scene of an overturned coach, with a horse galloping away while four passengers lie on the ground or stand nearby. One of the passenger’s legs is pinned under the coach and he is crying out. Two policemen and a woman in a knee length skirt are coming to the rescue on the left while three men, one with a leather satchel (maybe a medical bag?) are conversing on the right. The snow-covered Alps can be seen in the background, and a two-story stone house with a balcony appears on the left. Beneath the picture are the words, “The greatest success in New York this season. / Having been played there one hundred and twenty-five nights.” A datebill or label indicating the theater and dates of the performance is pasted across the bottom margin.
